Glennville Police Clerk accused of stealing $10,000

The court clerk for the Glennville Police Department was arrested Thursday following a GBI investigation stemming from allegations dating back to 2015.

Linda Thompson was arrested by the GBI and charged with one count of theft by a fiduciary of government funds. The agency said the investigation is not yet complete and more Thompson could be charged with additional counts.

Employees of the Glennville Police Department noticed roughly $10,000 missing or unaccounted for in 2015 after inaccurate fines were forwarded to the City of Glennville. Glennville PD notified the GBI and Special Agent Ashley Brown is investigating.
